Work Study

Please call for an appointment. Work study is a financial aid award and provides the
opportunity for students enrolled in six or more credits to earn money and gain work
experience. Students must complete a FAFSA every January for the next academic
year. Work Study is awarded on a first-come, first-served basis. FAFSA Applications
received after April 1 are considered late applicants and may be placed on a wait list.
The waitlist usually opens the third Tuesday of fall quarter. You must come to the SCC
work study office on that Tuesday (or after) to add yourself to the waitlist. There
is no guarantee that students on the work study waitlist will receive work study awards. Work study
funding is NEVER guaranteed. Institutional Work Study is based on department needs
and funding. Please call the SCC Work Study Office with any further questions or
for clarification.

Set aside 1, 2 or 3-hour blocks of time for studying; pick a consistent time and place.

Make better use of smaller blocks of time for reviewing class notes, reading 5 pages, etc.

Schedule rest and recreation! Make time for yourself to renew your energy, even if it's for 15 minutes of listening to your favorite music as you
ride the bus.

Look at the day as a whole.

Each day prioritize the things you need to do and number them 1, 2, 3, etc.

Do the most important first and work down your list.

Check off completed tasks to reward yourself. Practice doing this every day for three weeks; 21 days makes a habit!

Surviving College as a Student

Try not to schedule back-to-back classes.

The best time to study is right before or after class, and you don't want to wear yourself too thin.

Begin taking notes on the first day of class.

Even if it is stuff you think you already know, know what is expected of you.

Establish a routine time to study for each class.

For every hour you spend in class, you will probably need to study two hours outside of class. If possible, study for each subject at the same
time and in the same place. Go over your notes from class and make sure they are clear. Be sure to do reading assignments, and read ahead whenever
possible.

Establish a place to study.

The chosen place should have a desk, a comfortable chair, good lighting, any needed supplies, and should be as free of distraction as possible.
This place should be a place for study, not for other things.

Do as much studying in the daytime as workable.

What takes an hour to do during the day may take an hour and a half at night.

Schedule breaks.

Take a ten-minute break after every hour of study. Avoid scheduling long blocks of time for studying. Try to arrange several short study sessions
throughout the day.

Make use of study resources on campus.

Find out lab times and locations and use them; other resources can include tutors, videos, computer programs, and alternative texts. Get to know
your professors and advisors. Ask questions.

Find at least one or two students in each class to study with.

Studies show that students who study with someone routinely receive better grades. Teaching a concept or new idea to someone else is a sure way
for you to understand it. Studying in a group or with a partner can sometimes become too social. It is important to stay focused.

Study the hardest subject first.

Work on your hardest subjects at a time when you are fresh. Putting them off until you're tired compounds the problem.

Be good to yourself.

Studying on four hours of sleep and an empty stomach or junk food diet is a waste of time. Avoid caffeine just before or just after studying.
